Opening Friday, September 30th, from 12PM - 4PM

Fluxus artist Wolf Vostell’s concrete-encased Cadillac, Concrete Traffic (1970), returns to the University of Chicago during a public procession that traces the history of the colossal sculpture.

The program begins at noon on the plaza outside of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, where Concrete Traffic will be joined by a number of classic Cadillacs and cement trucks as a backdrop for a free public discussion with Lynne Warren, MCA Curator, and Christine Mehring, Professor and Chair, Department of Art History at UChicago, who oversaw the sculpture’s conservation and return.

Afterward, the sculpture will travel past its original location on the site of the present-day The Arts Club of Chicago, where it will be greeted by a performance of a piece inspired by Danger Music Number 17, a score by fellow Fluxus artist Dick Higgins.
